Board Games
Board games are a great source of entertainment and help children develop a rounded skill set. They keep children occupied and engaged for a few hours while supporting their development.
Introduce kids to classic games like Chess and Connect 4 to practice problem-solving while staying socially engaged. Jenga and Mouse Trap engage kids’ fine motor skills and handle light competition. Encourage them to suggest games or bring their favorites from home to share with their classmates.
Storytelling
Storytelling is another great option for an after-school program for younger children.
Elementary school children love stories. Stories spark their imagination by taking them to unknown worlds and introducing new characters. In class, students can write and share their own stories.
Another, more interactive method is to let them act out their story through play.
Art Projects
Every child has their own artistic flair. Making art is a classic, proven way for children to express their emotions, thoughts, and stories.
Basic art supplies can be:
- Paper plates
- Elmer’s Glue
- Popsicle sticks
- Paper cups
- String
- Crayons
- Markers
- Water colors
- Colored construction paper
Letting your students unleash their imagination doesn’t require expensive tools. Kids just want to bring their ideas to life, and they can use basic supplies to make dozens of different art projects.
